Madame Tussauds seemed like they were featuring the celebrities themselves while the Hollywood Wax Museum were featuring their respective stunt doubles.
Did you see Mini Manson in there?
@@minimansonstar I'm not sure if you're addressing me or Jacob or both. Also, pardon my ignorance but I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain. Thank you.

The quality of the head sculpts at Tussauds is light years better than at Hollywood. The Tussauds figures look as if they might begin speaking to you any second. The quality of the figures at Hollywood Wax museum varies wildly, from "pretty good", to "just OK", to "Old Navy mannequin head." (True story, the Star Trek display at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge made me genuinely angry, it was so bad.) Tussauds takes the cake. Er, croissant.
Londons is the best!
Honesty, that’s super true. I work at one of the locations of the Hollywood Wax Museum. There’s some wax figures that look amazing, buuuut there’s also some that look not so amazing.. yeeaaah our Marilyn Monroe looks very sad
The celebrity you asked about towards the end in the Hollywood Wax Museum is Bruno Mars!
Audrey Hepburn, as Holly Golightly, began her day standing in front of Tiffany’s window, while drinking coffee and eating a danish. Therefore, the movie was called “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
As someone who loves Breakfast at Tiffany's, she doesn't actually have a full meal in the store. She just eats a danish and drinks a cup of coffee outside the display window on the street in the opening scene. And that's the closest she actually got to eating breakfast at Tiffany's
do any tiffanys locations actually serve food? just curious. been through a few
Love the movie!!
@Mike Hawk actually the flagship Tiffany's store in New York now has a cafe that serves food. I assume you know what inspired it 😂
Bruno Mars
Thank you for finally pronouncing Tussaud correctly!
Years ago when Conan moved his show to TBS he came here to Tussauds wax museum to see his sculpture and while there he pretended to be a wax figure himself, stood still and would scare people when they stood next to him. It was hilarious 😂
It was great! Really miss all of Conan’s shows.
Woow cool 🤣💞
Really speaks to the incredible quality of Tussauds figures, if you think about it!
I did that, too. I got a little too turned on in there. 🤤
@@arrowguy173he is cool guy
Yes, crossover for sure. I like Madame Tussaud's the best.
Zoe Saldana was in three of the highest grossing movies of all time. Avengers Endgame, Avatar and Avatar: The way of water.
Bette Davies is shown in a pose from the classic "All About Eve" . Gloria Swanson depicted in the famous "Sunset Boulevard "..she's about to drop the classic line "I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille" . Love your waxwork vlogs 😎
Glad someone out there knew who this was :)
All About Eve was also where we see the first appearance of Marilyn Monroe before Davis' iconic line, "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be bumpy night."
I enjoyed seeing both museums. The surfer guy is Zak Efron ( Baywatch movie). I thought that the James Dean at Madame Tussauds looks more like Austin Butler, than James Dean.
Yes! Thank you! I knew it was him.
Madame Tussauds figures are definitely more realistic and the layout of the museum seems better too 🌟 The guy that You didn't know in the Hollywood wax museum music area is Bruno Mars 🎶 I love when You visit museums... every one of them 💗 Thanks Jacob 🙏💝😻
I think, madam, trousseau museum had the best wax figures. Thank you for showing both of them to us.
Zoe Saldana played in Guardians, Drum Line, and Avatar!😉
And Star Trek movies.
Columbiana too.
The first wax museum looks a lot more realistic than the last one. I had a hard time figuring out who was who in the last museum.
The Bette Davis figure is from the 1950 film, "All about Eve." Zoe Saldana plays, among other things, Gamora in "Guardians of the Galaxy."
29:06 that is darkness, who is played by Tim Curry from the movie Legend. Great movie! Also stars a young Tom Cruise.
I watched that movie as a kid. As an adult, I bought the movie. I've always loved it. There are several people I know that has never even heard of it or seen it.
Greetings Jacob, the quality of the Madame Tussaud's wax museum and superior details of the figures was 100% better then the other museum for us. The only thing we didn't see as authentic was Captain Kirk's bushy hair, nor did they capture the sexy quality of Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). Thank you for this fun, fun adventure....an adventure we would never be able to do in what is left in our lifetime~ Be Safe~
Seeing this video makes me wish the old Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park was still around. Sadly, closed down in 2005. But it had a Ripley's museum next door that you could get a two for one ticket and visit both of them.
The Hollywood Wax Museum is my favorite wax museum ever.
Ah, Bette Davis. Never underestimate her, nor her eyes, as sung by Kim Carnes. The pose and clothes she is in remind me a lot of the film "all about eve", which i saw for the first time only recently and in which she stole my heart (and returned it after a good grown up treatment). Fortunately, the camel was either a wax figure or a taxidermy, and you got dismounted without physical harm. You forgot to say the famous words from Omar Shariff: "Hat, hat, hat!". Those would have made the camel rise and speed of in the direction you steer him.
The Gloria Swanson statue was one of her poses from her famous movie, Sunset Boulevard. She played Norma Desmond. It's a good movie.
I love how you gave George Clooney the academy award for worst Batman 😂
I feel so old; I don't know half of the celebrities! Great video, Jacob. Thanks for posting.😃
The Hollywood Wax Museum is like, "We have Madame Tussauds at home" Madame Tussauds at home:
I absolutely agree with you with a quality of the Madame wax museum. There was more intricate and unique impressions of the actors with their faces very detailed. Thank you for sharing you take care and be safe.🤠
The Hollywood Wax Museum by NO MEANS compared to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum!!! By far Madame Tussauds figures were all superior and looked superbly alike the actual stars n celebrities!!! I didn't recognize half the figures at Hollywood Wax Museum.. The sculptors at Madame Tussauds are top notch!!!
Yesss!!! Finally some more new wax museum content from you! Always love when you visit these wax museums!!!
imagine the sights security sees when watching people thru cctv
Then I gave them a HOT NAUGHTY time. HAPPY GUARDS! 🤤🤤🤤
12:56 The movie starts with her eating a pastry and drinking coffee in front of Tiffany's while admiring the jewelry in the windows. Later she talks about how going to Tiffany's makes her feel good. The wax display has nothing to do with the film.
Don't flap your arms when you have wings, lol. Conan was awesome. Turned in every night! Truly enjoyed this video.
The guy in the mirror room you didn’t know is bruno mars. He sang 24k magic & uptown funk.
I was surprised he didn't know who that was. Bruno Mars is so popular and has so many songs. I can understand an older group of people not knowing who he is but Jacob isn't that old. Lol!
The "Super Mom" sign got me. 😂😅
Mind blown how the wax figures look just like the real person's I want to go to wax museum
I stopped by that Madame Toussaud's Wax Museum in Los Angeles back 13 years ago. Glad that you went to both of them Jake!
Hi Jacob! Lovely video as always! I love wax museums!
I'd have to say that I'm team Michael Myers, if only because we share the same first name. Also, that devil was Tim Curry as the Darkness from the 80s fantasy movie Legend, which, incidentally, is still my favorite Tom Cruise movie.
Madam Tussauds was sold out the only day I was in LA so I went to Hollywood wax museum. I was by myself but it was still pretty fun lol. Loved the TMNT figures!
Back around 30+ years ago, the Hollywood Wax Museum was notoriously bad. Note that most of the figures now are celebrities from recent years, so they’re new sculptures, and they only kept the least-sucky old ones. I wonder what they did with the other old figures. Candles?
Or they were chopped down and shipped to Crayola to make crayons. 🙂
I think they take the old figures and remodel them into newer celebrities.
Love wax museums. Madam Tussaud's is the better of the two for quality.
Carpet beggar what would life be without you ? Love 💕 going with you on your adventures !!
Fortunately Jacob is not yet a beggar, but regardless, he makes high quality, informative and funny vlogs that we all love.
@@agerven oops ! Bagger !
LOL! 😆😅🤣
You absolutely must see Whatever Happened to Baby Jane...with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Absolutely fabulous and SOOOO CREEPY. It's old school horror and you will not be disappointed Jacob. It's great!
She got Betty Davis eyes
Thank you for this fun episode! I love wax museums and their history.
Loved the cane twirl! Also you’ve got the best deadpan I’ve ever seen! ty for making us feel so comfortable!
I had such a GREAT TIME in that museum! Right across from my hotel: the Hollywood Roosevelt! 🤩
Madame T’s figures are more realistic and you can tell who they are, Hollywood’s were harder to recognize and looked off somehow. The best/worst wax museums are those historical figure ones in the dark tableaus, sometimes they have nametags so you know who they are supposed to be and are creepy looking.
Great video, Jacob! Always love the content. The only thing of the video I didn't like was the idiot putting up his middle finger at the 0:52 point. I love the selfie opp in the elevator at Madame Taussaud's. I wish you had did a close up of Denzel Washington as Det. Alonzo Harris from Training Day- he got his first major award for that role. The King Kong at Hollywood W.M. was better and the figure at the 39:57 mark is Bruno Mars. Be safe Jacob, see you in the next one!
In the 70's and 80's , Movieland had a clone attraction near Seaworld in Orlando, Florida called Stars Hall of Fame.
I remember Six Flags Stars Hall of Fame. Went there on a Middle School field trip as a kid. I remembered it mainly for the accuracy of Fred Sanford and Aunt Ester.
I love that you mentioned the Danhausen pose, because that was the first thing I thought of too.
Nice side-by-side! Hats off to the sculptors. They do a fantastic job. I hope some of them make cosplay appearances. They'd blow some of the competition out of the water. It was nice to see Depp depicted in both of them from "Secret Window". It's an underrated film. The Tussauds has better aesthetics for the figures, but the Hollywood has better theming, IMO. I guess it's kind of a wash. However, the artists from Tussauds nailed the non-wax look, with amazing detail. The "worst Batman" award was pretty epic. As always, a quality upload. Keep it up, my friend!

Didn’t expect to see you singing bees in the trap with Nicki today! 😂
crazy how realistic they are
Jacob you are just the few groups of ppl who correctly say ri-anna name 😊 the h is silent not a lot of ppl know that 👍👍👍 of all the singers out there she is my most favorite, and beside her is jlo , Miranda lambert, carrie underwood, they are the best.
Madame Tussauds are the best wax museums. Her figures capture the realism of each subject.
Love the Kimmel interview w/ you. Cool recording.
Dude I've been looking for your channel for a while! I used to watch your videos almost daily and stopped getting notifications..couldn't remember the name of your channel, so I typed in "wax museum" and bam! So happy!
Bette Davis is posed from my favorite movie of hers "All About Eve." Her famous quote, "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night." Loved her in that. Gloria Swanson is posed from her movie "Sunset Boulevard", where she plays a delusional has been actress.
You are so good and informative. Thank you
Wow these sculptures have come a long way since last time I saw something like this. These are good!
I think Hollywood wax is better ! Always fun to go too !
I almost went to both wax museums in Hollywood, but I went to the Hollywood museum and the Ripley’s
While you’re in the area you should check out a lesser known theme park called castle park, it’s located in riverside CA. About 40min from LA, they have some pretty good fair style rides a sally corp dark ride located inside the arcade
Here's a fun fact about Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman, starting with Morgan Freeman, when he was a young man, he was in The electric company and no for Johnny Depp, one of his famous roles was in, the very first nightmare on elm Street.
Madam Tussaud's won that contest by a long shot!!
I was just there yesterday and I loved it
WOW-AMAZING WAX MUSEUM SCULPTURES-REAL LIFE LIKE. I LOVE IT.
I think the breakfast at Tiffany’s was a sort of full fill your fantasy type deal . My bro has seen that movie three times . Once on the big screen on a release . In our house we call Frankenstein’s monster Frankie cause that’s what Costello Called him in abbot and Costello meet Dracula .
that "not a devil" and "swamp witch" are Darkness (Tim Curry) and Meg Mucklebones (Robert Picardo) from the Ridley Scott movie Legend. SUCH a good movie...with pre-insane Tom Cruise as well as Mia Sara.
lol Ari licked 2 donuts apparently. I love how the rumor mill increases the amount of donuts with each telling. The detail in the wax figures is amazing. Would love to tour one of Madame Tussauds exhibits. I imagine it's kind of creepy as well as entertaining.
And such a weird thing to do, lick donuts. Celebrity or not!
@@hanamoon125 yeah, it’s kinda bizarre lol But she’s apologized and expressed remorse over the incident. She was pretty young at the time. I can’t judge, I did worse at her age lol
I'm 100% Team Jason Voorhees
Very cool! The likenesses are spot on! Great tour and fun! Would have liked to see Clint Eastwood a bit longer, tho, so briefly shown.
Best Arnold impression ever!
One of the best Wax Museum's a classic location. So much fun - maybe you can move to California like Adam.
Who else was singing along with, “Bidibidibombom”? 💜 So happy to see Selena!
Jacob: "Hey, wait a minute-- am I taller than Danny Trejo?" Me: I just Googled it, and everything I've seen says he's like, 5-foot-6. (But you obviously have to take that with a grain of salt, since it's the 'net.) 🙂
I, too, cannot believe that you put the stethoscope earpieces in your ears. Jacob! 😂😂😂 I loved the interview with Jimmy Kimmel and the posing. You’ve perfected your deadpan deliveries and I am here for it. Tussaud’s does have better likenesses and I am very surprised that the founder of the horror chamber does not itself offer a horror chamber. The bonkers factor of the H’wood museum is a new way to enjoy it. Hadn’t thought of it that way before. Nice! Go and be safe! Stop putting things in your ears, please.
Oh Team Jason here and you can see the difference between these two Museums. Tussauds is much better ^^. The Gentleman in the mirror room was Bruno Mars he was actually well made .
The Tussaud's is really good, I have a strange fear of wax figures, but I love to watch your videos, it allows me to see without having to be there facing my biggest fear !
27:18 That was the perfect opportunity for "The Power of Christ Compels You!"
Looking at the different Madame Tussauds around the world, I think this is one of the best ones to the features of the faces...Such talent!!! Thank you for your interjection of fun, featuring the wax sculptures...The Tussaud is a better rendition of the sculptures....I think....The singer in the second museum that you didn't know, is Bruno....
I've been there Jacob! Isn't it so amazing!!!
Clark Gables grandson, Clark James Gable used to host a show called Cheaters.
I watch It’s a Wonderful Life every year!
Very nice to see Defunctland's Kevin Perjurer at 8:07
Double Carpetbagger wax museums? Ah yeah!
I love 💕 your stuff you let us see!
Loved getting to see the wax museums again have not been there since I was younger growing up in California. Suggestion you might consider carrying hand sanitizer with you since you like to touch a lot of stuff
Great museums, Jacob.
I like how both different do museums that art 🖼️
That fella at the end is the one, the only, Mr. Bruno Mars, the man who sings one of the best turn-up songs known to man, "24k Magic" (which should be added to you and Jenny Penny's road trip song playlist)
The Panavison, Panaflex 2000. Great camera
How about visiting the Charles Schultz library/museum in Santa Rosa just north of San Francisco
I would LOVE to see that! ❤
I LOVE ALL URE VIDEOS ❤
Well Done Jacob!
The goblin and demon are from Legend, the 1985 Ridley Scott fantasy film.
Wasn't the pattern on the background behind Bill Murray from Laugh In. I can't remember if he did the show but, it was around his early career days
So fun wish I could go!
Looks like you had a lot of fun!
I learned about the Saw movies. The guy actually wasn't evil. Twisted but not evil. The traps he used to "rehabilitate" those people. Kind of make them want to live better lives. Still twisted tho.
Felicidades por compartir tú video las figuras son muy reales, se ve que te diviertes y también te sorprendes, un abrazo desde Cd Neza, Estado de México.....
